The Shadow of the Stretching Heist

In the heart of the sprawling metropolis, the city lights flickered like a warning as Armstrong stood on the rooftop, his silhouette etched against the night sky. Below, the streets were alive with the hum of activity, the city's pulse a steady drumbeat. His breath came in sharp, shallow gasps as he leaned over the edge, the cool night air stinging his face. The Stretching Heist had been his masterpiece, a heist so meticulously planned that it had seemed impossible to pull off. But now, it was unraveling before his eyes.

Armstrong had always prided himself on his ability to anticipate the unexpected. The Stretching Heist had been a testament to that. It was supposed to be the final heist, the one that would set him up for life. Instead, it had turned into a nightmare. The police were closing in, and the person he had trusted most had betrayed him.

He turned his gaze to the shadowy figure below, the one who had promised to help him escape. The voice on the radio crackled to life, "Armstrong, you're not alone. I'm coming."

Armstrong's heart raced. The voice belonged to Rogue, his partner in crime, and the only person who truly understood the risks they took. But could he trust her now? The radio cut out, leaving Armstrong to wonder if this was another trick.

As he watched, a sleek black car pulled up to the curb, the engine idling softly. The passenger door opened, and Rogue stepped out, her eyes scanning the surroundings. She was dressed in a tactical outfit, her face obscured by a dark mask. Armstrong's breath caught in his throat as she approached, her every step deliberate.

"Get in," she whispered, her voice a mixture of urgency and concern.

Armstrong hesitated, but the thought of the police closing in was too much. He climbed into the car, the door shutting with a finality that felt like a death knell.

"Where are we going?" Armstrong asked, his voice steady despite the panic gnawing at his insides.

"We need to get out of the city. The police will be here any minute," Rogue replied, her eyes scanning the road ahead.

The car accelerated, weaving through the streets with a precision that made Armstrong's heart race. They passed by the police cars, their sirens blaring, but they managed to stay ahead. Armstrong's mind raced, trying to figure out what had gone wrong. The Stretching Heist had been his masterpiece, but now it had turned into a disaster.

As they drove deeper into the city, Armstrong realized that he had made a grave mistake. The person he had trusted most had turned on him. He had been so focused on the heist that he had failed to see the signs of betrayal. Now, he was trapped, with no one to turn to.

Rogue pulled the car over to the side of the road, her eyes scanning the surroundings. "We need to lose them," she said, her voice calm but filled with determination.

Armstrong nodded, his mind racing as he tried to figure out a way out of this mess. He had always been the mastermind behind their operations, but now he felt completely out of his depth.

"Where are we going?" Armstrong asked again, his voice tinged with desperation.

Rogue glanced at him, her eyes softening for a moment. "We're going to the place I grew up. It's safe there. We'll figure out what to do next."

Armstrong nodded, his mind still reeling from the events of the night. The Stretching Heist had been his masterpiece, but now it had turned into a disaster. He had been so focused on the heist that he had failed to see the signs of betrayal. Now, he was trapped, with no one to turn to.
